"This annual event shows the breadth of activity around sustainability at U-M in a fun and interactive way," says Barbara Hagan, sustainability representative in the Office of Campus Sustainability. "EarthFest is all about engagement and education and we hope faculty and staff find ways to get involved in areas they are interested in."

The event is designed to highlight efforts across campus in the areas of research, education and operations at booths staffed by student organizations, departments and local non-profits. It is organized around the university's 2025 sustainability goals: climate action, waste prevention, healthy environments and community awareness.

Attendees are encouraged to visit tables in each of the goal areas to obtain tokens or stamps that can be turned in for a chance to win one a goal-themed gift baskets.

A photo booth will allow attendees to take photos and share a pledge on Planet Blue's social media pages for additional opportunities to win prizes.
